Apple chili fries
Heather L.

I have long enjoyed the modern day Beak and Skiff products, but hadnt been to the actual farm since I was a kid. Came with a group on Sunday of Labor day weekend and it was busy but the grounds are so large, there was plenty of space for everyone as well as parking. We started out grabbing some food to sit outside and eat as it was a nice day. I had the apple chili fries which were yummy but the chili had very large pieces of tomato in it which was a little off putting. Grabbed a side of cider as well as some cider donuts too. Next we stopped by the general store which had everything from fudge, cheese, and gifts to all kinds of apple themed things such as salsa. Next up was the apple barn which is basically just apples and cider (non alcoholic). Finally we finished off at 1911. There are plenty of spirts and hard cider to purchase and the tap room staff was wonderful. I was able to try a liquor I was interested in and then got a loganberry habanero cocktail which was fantastic. My friends got cider flights which they enjoyed. Beyond our activities there is a new childrens play area and apple picking as well. Still a great spot even though it has become more commercial over the years.

This past Friday I went to a concert at beak and skiff and it did not disappoint!!! I started with a watermelon gin fizz, not too strong and definitely was delicious! The watermelon flavor came through just enough to where it wasn't overpowering. I shared a waygu burger and fries with my dad and it was definitely more than enough food. I was skeptical at first with the fries being around $6, but the portion was very large and definitely worth the money. The snack shack was packed but my food came out super quick and warm, the staff definitely knew how to handle a crowd!! We ended the night with a few cider donuts and a beautiful view!! Beak and skiff is definitely worth the hype, everyone needs to come at least once, and definitely for a concert!

Saturday drive + crisp fall vibes. Beak & Skiff is always packed (on weekends) but it never loses that wide open feel. It's been a family tradition for us since 2017. This stop was all about the cider donuts, and they did not disappoint. They were warm, fresh, and perfectly spiced. The kids loved watching the donut making process through the window and were all smiles with their candy apples. We're pacing ourselves this season. Next weekend, we'll be back with friends for apple picking and tractor rides (the highlight for my kids). Happy fall, y'all.

Adult Easter Egg Hunt!
Trina M.

I attended the Adult Easter Egg Hunt last Saturday. How fun! As you approach the grounds from the parking lot you can see eggs scattered about. Check in was in the main barn. We were given a drink ticket with our admission ticket (which was around $50). The event usually does sell out so it's wise to get tickets well in advance if able. We were given bags to collect eggs if needed. There were specific times to search for eggs and collect prizes so that seemed pretty organized. There was live music and a heavy snack buffet bar that included quesadillas, fried pickles, BBQ chicken sliders, and potato salad. I won a bottle of flavored vodka, some candy, and a dozen donuts (that I have to return for). It was a fun twist on a childhood Easter activity with a few opportunities to win something fun. Just be advised that you may need to return some of the prizes.

Made the journey to sample the tasty beverages with some friends for the afternoon. It was a beautiful sunny 80° day in October. The scenery is lovely. They drew in a very large crowd that day. Lots of Apple treats in the bakery. There were hayrides, a corn maze and apple picking in the orchard. Needless to say, our group wasn't disappointed with the outing.

We love apple season in New York and Beak & Skiff brings back nostalgia when I was little and now I bring our two littles here. If you've been apple picking here before you know when the best time to go lol, weekends are obviously busier unless you get there right when they open. We opted to go on a Thursday for our favorite, honeycrisps. We had lunch which everything was delicious. There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoor. We ate outside with the beautiful views before us, the weather was perfect. Our youngest loved the kids section. The quality of products and friendly staff makes it worth stopping by each year.

I went on a weekend and though it was packed, finding parking was surprisingly easy (very well organized!). This place really is the Disneyland of apple orchards! They have everything from pick-your-own apple picking, a corn maze, a cafe/ bakery with every iteration of apple drink and apple pastry one could want, a general store filled with even more delicious goodies and products made locally, and even a distillery. There's really something for everyone here!

Apple crisp
Alexis M.

This review is for the cafe specifically. We ordered the smoked Mac & cheese with pulled pork and the pickle waygu burger. The counter service had to finish their personal conversation before taking our order. The food came out fast but the burger was well done regardless of them asking how I wanted it cooked. $14 burger, doesn't come with sides. The Mac and cheese was good. The bakery is phenomenal as always and the service was very friendly and kind. There are a few tables to eat inside the cafe when chilly but otherwise mainly outdoor picnic tables. I'll come here again for apples, the bakery and the fall activities but not for the cafe lunch/dinner.

What a great experience! Orchards to distillery they have it all. Great raspberry cider, outdoor tables, band, general store and food! You can dine, drink, shop, eat dessert from the bakery and Apple pick all at one location.

This was actually a Syracuse Food Truck Association event "Foodie Fest", held at Beak and Skiff. It was a great venue for this event, with lots of room, there was seating and grassy spots to sit, beautiful scenery and the buildings have indoor bathrooms. The tasting room as well as the gift shop were open. There were some of my favorite trucks at this event and a few new ones I was able to try. Redneck Reuben Union is amazing and their corned beef is the best.

Really incredible place. I went to Beak & Skiff for a concert. I was pretty well blown away. I wasn't expecting a venue as big and nice as that, but alas! There it was! Beak & Skiff feels like it is in the middle of nowhere because it's on the edge of the Appalachian Mountains and there's really not a whole lot around, but you're only a short drive outside of Syracuse. Parking is easy. They have food and drinks. Everyone brings their own chairs and they setup in the big lawn in front of the stage. The earlier you get there, the more likely it'll be that you'll be able to park yourself where you want. Just pace yourself on the beer because I'm not sure how many Ubers there are in the area.

2:30pm on a Saturday

Beak & skiff will always be the go to for my family since I was only a few months old. They have grown a lot and it's amazing to see everything they do and how popular they've become. We went on a Saturday around 12pm and I was reminded why we avoid the weekends but round 1 of early morning people left so we found a parking spot closer to the entrance. It was packed to say the least so if you want to come on a weekend be prepared for the crowds and lines for everything. Even finding seating area. However, we love Honeycrisp so we had to get here before they were gone for the season. The food was okay, but they really need to expand their cafe to prep for the amount of people. Ordering food especially on the weekends. It took about an hour to get our food and it was tough to hear when it was ready because they were shouting names. I think maybe they need one more tv and give order numbers to everyone kinda like Panera does now or McDonald's. Even a PA system would help because it was difficult to hear over all the talking. We got the porky apple nachos, deer hill apple bacon burger, and 1911 original chicken. The nachos were good the best part was the apple chutney that was nice and hot and the queso. The pork wasn't very warm and was a bit dry. However kind of expected with how much they prep in pans. The burger was good, your typical burger my sister said. The chicken sandwich was ok too my mom just wished there was maybe more to it than just pickles maybe a coleslaw on it. We don't come for the food but it's nice that they have it available. No drinks today but thought it was cool they were doing free tastings of 4 different whiskeys. Went home with their aged for 5 years whiskey for my boyfriend and a bottle of Honeycrisp wine and obviously some beak and skiff apple cider.

Layla R.

as a pumpkin patch/farm/orchard connoisseur this was extremely disappointing. the food lacked flavor, seasoning, and was not worth the cost. french fries that taste like raw potatoes, a veggie burger that looked like the shit of a vegetable in a patty. we really only interacted with one worker outside of ordering food (who did not look happy to be there). the lady we did talk to was sweet. apart from that there really just isn't much to do. there's pretty sights just not many activities

I'll be coming to Beak & Skiff for a concert in August. I'm curious about their guidelines compared to other concert venues, like photography/bag rules. Can anyone give me details as to what attending a concert here is like?

Relaxed, I believe they reserve the right to do bag checks but I would call and ask. It may be canceled
